Abstract

Today, international and national legislation requires Ukraine to ensure and implement the principle of gender equality in all spheres of public life, which is related to the European integration course of the Ukrainian legal system. In connection with the above, gender studies are becoming increasingly popular in all spheres of public life, and the judiciary is no exception. This is due to the fact that judges, in their daily activities, in resolving litigation, give a legal assessment of people's actions. Thus, court decisions are a kind of indicator of the rule of law and a marker of society's compliance with democratic principles of the state. Thus, courts have the opportunity to ensure access to justice and eliminate gender discrimination through a gender approach. They have a huge potential to correct formal, material and structural inequalities through court decisions, which provides a practical opportunity to translate gender symmetry into legal reality. The article considers the mechanism of gender mainstreaming in justice as a set of measures (institutional policy) to ensure equality before the law and the court on the basis of gender; access to justice and equality in access to the profession of judge, judicial remuneration, career advancement, participation in judicial governance and self-government, and maternity protection, in a fair work-life balance for both men and women. it, etc. An integrated essential understanding of the gender perspective as a real, practical application and implementation of appropriate measures, carrying out certain actions to achieve gender equality is proposed; in ensuring gender mainstreaming in all aspects of the justice system and understanding how gender identity affects the legal status of litigants (institutional policy). The integration of a gender perspective into the judiciary is the strengthening of gender equality in all aspects of the judiciary, as judges and judges are agents of change who, through the application of the law, enable people to feel equal in their own country.
